Description

The sides of this hairstyle is tapered into the head with subtle layers through the top styled over to the side for a chic look and feel. The back is cut short close to the nape while the bangs are combed to the side to soften the face and completes the over-all 'do brilliantly. Product is needed to keep this hairstyle in place.

Our model looks beautiful here in a sleek short hairstyle that brings her gorgeous facial features into the spotlight. She suits short hair well, due to her inverted triangular face shape and high cheekbones. She also looks great in styles with grown out or side-swept bangs thanks to her short, wide forehead. The tapered sides and back in this cut show off her face nicely, while the sleek finish brings the focus up to her eyes. This â€˜do works well with her hair type, which is fine and straight, and looks best in cuts that are styled with precision.The fringe sits softly to the side creating a feminine finish.

As for her color, our model has a fair, cool complexion, blue eyes and naturally light blonde hair. Here she lightens up her locks further by going to a platinum blonde tone that looks fabulous with her complexion. This color adds extra style to her simple 'do and is guaranteed to turn heads wherever she goes. It also adds the appearance of thickness to her fine hair. To add a final dose of style, her hair has been highlighted with baby pink and low lighted with a soft blue tone. This gives her 'do an overall sweet yet edgy finish.

Styling Steps

1. Apply Gel Spray to Roots

Hold the gel spray no closer than 3 inches from your hair and then evenly mist the gel spray into the roots to create a stronger hold style. Gel spray will hold well and will not look wet or weigh the hair down. Using your gel spray in this fashion will create added hold and a longer lasting style.

2. Part to the Left

Using the corner of your comb and standing in front of a mirror find the middle of your left eye and then drag the comb straight up slowly until you reach your hairline and then continue back in a straight manner to achieve an even left part. A side part is great for longer face shapes because it creates the illusion of width.

3. Use a Small Radial Brush

A small radial brush is used on shorter hair types to add more body or in longer hair types to create curl. When selecting a radial brush, always use one with a pure bristle as this will not tear or damage the hair.

4. Blow-dry Bangs Forward to the Right

When blow-drying your bangs to the side, section your hair up and clip your hair back to leave only your bangs out. Remember to make sure that your bangs are damp to make blow-drying more effective. Next, take your brush and place it underneath the hair and then blow-dry starting from the roots, adding tension to the hair as you go. Slowly pull your section down to the ends and continue until dry.

5. Blow-dry Right Side Forward

Take a section of your hair from your ear to your temple that is the same diameter as the brush. Place your brush underneath the hair starting at the roots and pull the hair slowly in a forward and downward direction with your blow-dryer above. Be sure the section is dry and then repeat the step on a new section of hair directly above.

6. Blow-dry Left Side Forward

Take a section of your hair from your ear to your temple the same diameter as the brush. Place your brush underneath the hair starting at the roots and pull the hair slowly in a forward and downward direction with your blow-dryer above. Be sure the section is dry and then repeat the step on a new section of hair directly above.

7. Blow-dry the Crown

To blow-dry the crown/top sections, take a section of hair no bigger than the diameter of the brush and blow-dry the hair placing the brush under the section of hair. With your blow-dryer in front of the brush, follow the brush in an upwards direction at the roots and an outwards position at the ends for volume and softness. Continue until the section is dry.

8. Finger Dry the Back with Blow-dryer

Use your blow-dryer and your fingers to dry the back of your hair by moving your hair around to allow the heat to pass through it.

9. Style Sides Behind Ear Using Gel-wax

Apply a small amount of gel-wax to your fingertips, then place it at the roots above your ear and drag it through as you pull your hair behind your ear. This will create a fresh, semi-wet result.

10. Style Bangs to the Right Using Gel-wax

Apply gel-wax to your fingertips then gently rake through your bangs, sweeping the hair to the right as you go. Gel-wax will give you shine and a soft hold.
